Weather Sensitivity

You can change the rain and wind sensitivity by accessing the Weather Sensitivity. Go to Settings > Weather > Weather Sensitivity

Forecast Correction

Rainmachine algorithm correct forecast data with most recent weather data. This works best if you have a local weather service enabled.

Rain Sensitivity

Rain Sensitivity allows for an arbitrary attenuation of the forecasted rainfall amount. As a result, particularities such as non-uniformity, runoff or overall rain forecasting confidence can be adjusted. Considering only 80% of the rainfall amount is a conservative approach that will cover most situations. Decreasing rain sensitivity will increase the amount of irrigation water used because a lower amount of rain water would be considered in the algorithm. In an ideal world, rain sensitivity should be 100%.

Wind sensitivity

Wind Sensitivity allows for an arbitrary attenuation of the forecasted wind speed amount.
